The issue is that we use that one weird quoting style only once in the spec:

and programs may rely on ``wrap around''.

(using two backticks to open, and then two apostrophes to close.)

But elsewhere we don't use that style. Here are straight quotes:

For instance, some architectures provide a "fused multiply and add" (FMA)
...
"If" statements specify

I see no curly quotes in the document at least, so we only have two styles present, and only barely two.
